On 6 June 1944, the Canadians who landed at Juno Beach risked their lives to save Europe from Nazi barbarism. So that they are not forgotten, war memorials and funerary steles are erected, streets are named in their honour; thousands of white crosses stand in impeccable rows in the cemeteries; the memory of these Canadians is honoured during historical...

In 1940, the manoeuvre that would seal the fatal fate of the Allied armies can be summarised in two stages. Alongside the diversionary attack carried out in the Netherlands and Belgium, the German armoured mass first rushed to assault its enemy in the Ardennes. After a chaotic period of a few days, it finally crossed the Meuse after brushing aside the...

€37.82
Used as a decoy by the Allies prior to Operation Overlord, the 3rd Army would enter the history books during the liberation of France — thanks in no small part to its fiery commander, General George S. Patton, and to its role as the spearhead of the Allied armies through to 1945. Taking part in the exploitation of the Normandy breakout and the drive...
ACHTUNG JABO! Allied Fighter-Bombers in Combat
Out of stock
"Achtung Jabo!" This simple warning cry in a German column could spread terror among troops lacking anti-aircraft protection against the firepower of Allied fighter-bombers appearing in the sky to drop their bombs, fire their rocket salvoes and strafe their ranks. A key element of the all-out war waged against Axis forces at the tactical level by the...

In the context of the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, this work examines the fighting from its aerial dimension, an aspect rarely considered in existing works.

This detailed work recounts the history of the SS-Panzer-Abteilung 17 during the Battle of Normandy in 1944. The operations of this tank battalion of the 17.SS-Panzergrenadier-Division « Götz von Berlichingen » are far less well known than those of the other Waffen-SS armoured battalions committed during the summer of 1944. This is most likely due to its...

During my missions in the United States, I observed that the American public — apart from historians and people from the South, from where most of the units and GIs in the Mediterranean actually originated — was primarily captivated by Overlord and the operations launched from Normandy. This is understandable given the difference in the forces engaged,...

Many books have addressed the Battle of Stalingrad — and for good reason: it is one of the fiercest battles of the Second World War and, in many respects, one of the turning points on the Eastern Front. Urban combat, the "war of rats", the fierce resistance of the Red Army with its back to the Volga, the encirclement of an entire German army — which then...
